You are very perceptive and you think clearly. I also thought it odd that this fellow lives in America and yet has such strong criticism, but I know why this happens. He implied that he came from Bangladesh. Bangladesh is extremely poor, very very densely populated, extremely corrupt, economic development is generally impossible in Bangladesh. They actually have pirates from Bangladesh that go out on the ocean and steal from other nations' ships at gunpoint of course. The mentality on the other side of the world is such that they want desperately to come here because things are so very very bad over there. Lots of people who actually hate America would love to come here.

Things are bad in many countries. Maybe before September 11 I wouldn't have cared about what this guy wrote. I would think he was a nut like some racists. Things are differant now. America is still safer than other countries. After September 11, I worry about the enemy within who hates freedom. I don't trust people who want to force people to be like them. Islamic Sharia law is what this writer wants. People should have the right to be responsible for their actions. People should obey the laws but be allowed to worship and live their life the way they want. Under Sharia law, people must obey one religion and one way of life. My Dad says that freedom brings pain as well as peace depending on your choices. I don't want the Taliban here in America.
